About this product

Product Information

**SHORTLISTED FOR THE WELLCOME BOOK PRIZE 2019** **A NEW YORK TIMES CRITICS' TOP BOOK OF 2018** A shocking, hilarious and strangely tender novel about a young woman's experiment in narcotic hibernation, aided and abetted by one of the worst psychiatrists in the annals of literature. Our narrator has many of the advantages of life, on the surface. Young, thin, pretty, a recent Columbia graduate, she lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan paid for, like everything else, by her inheritance. But there is a vacuum at the heart of things, and it isn't just the loss of her parents in college, or the way her Wall Street boyfriend treats her, or her sadomasochistic relationship with her alleged best friend. It's the year 2000 in a city aglitter with wealth and possibility; what could be so terribly wrong? This story of a year spent under the influence of a truly mad combination of drugs, designed to heal us from our alienation from this world, shows us how reasonable, even necessary, that alienation sometimes is. Blackly funny, both merciless and compassionate - dangling its legs over the ledge of 9/11 - this novel is a showcase for the gifts of one of America's major young writers working at the height of her powers.

    • I loved it. Despite nothing much happening it is utterly compelling and very contemporary

      I read My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh for my book group having previously known nothing about the book or the author. An unnamed, wealthy and attractive young New York woman decides to take a year-long sleep. She is aided by Dr Tuttle, a self absorbed and distracted psychiatrist, who always has her prescription pad at the ready and is willing to dole out ever stronger pharmaceuticals (her endless psychobabble, diagnoses and drug descriptions are very funny). The narrator's year long sleep is consistently interrupted by her bulimic "best friend" Reva whose dialogue is peppered with self-help aphorisms and who is usually on some new insane diet. During the course of the book we also learn about Trevor, the narrator's appalling Wall Street boyfriend, the recent death of ...
